How can i help someone to stop smoking when they just recently picked up the habit. I’d say about a month ago a good friend of me start smoking, to release stress and deal with things. But i told her its not the answer. How can i help her quit? before it becomes more serious….
I’m afraid. I have kept persuading my dad to stop smoking, and he kept attempting to do so. He has tried many methods (like exercising, alternative drugs like those patches), and he kept making promises that he would stop for good. But he keeps getting stressed from work and family, and smoking seems to be his only way to manage it. Things were looking up; I was confident in him in being rid of his habit forever, but now I feel helpless. I don’t what to do anymore to help my dad. And I’m very worried. Any advice or references that will help will be greatly appreciated.
My best friend is 14 (I’m 15) and she smokes pot and cigarettes. I really want to help her even though she says "You can try but I’m really hooked." I also have another friend who does pot and I want to help her too.I don’t do that stuff and don’t think I ever would. I really just want to help them kick this horrible Habit…
I don’t want to gain extra weight & want to exercise. Although I realize that when one stops smoking, they tend to consume more food. I am sure there are measures to take that will curb this habit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I bet this question is asked a lot on this site so sorry for repeat. Well I have been smoking for the last 2 years I am only 17 right now I now young but I do not think I am 100 percent addicted right now. I want to quit before i get there though I am pretty addicted though I seem to go threw a few a day and I want to quit. it dose relax me thought and kinda helps but i now they do a lot more damage then help. I now people can not quit just like that with this kinda habit but any one have ways to slowly but successfully start quitting?
I smoke about a pack a day and I know I need to quit. I want to quit, I’m tired of feeding my habit and it’s getting more and more expensive. I’ve tried to quit a few times in the past and failed. For those of you who have successfully stopped smoking, how did you do it? How do you stay smoke-free? What are your tips and suggestions on the first step in the process?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Monica, you hit on my biggest problem, boredom. I smoke most when I’m bored or stressed.
Thanks to the people who offered real answers.
If it were as easy as just not smoking, I’d have done it by now. I hope you guys don’t work with the public.
Which part of "I’m trying to quit smoking" can be taken as please preach to me? I realize this isn’t a medical help line, but for the love of Pete, leave your preaching out of questions like this one. It has nothing to do with religion. Just so you know, I’ve asked Yahoo to remove your sermon.
Well pardon the holy hell out of me for not wanting a sermon in response to a question that doesn’t require one. This is not a religious issue, it’s a health issue. I keep my religion and my health separate. I also don’t like people following me around Yahoo preaching to me.
How did you stop this damn habit. Which technique helped you most? Is there any good alternative medicine which will help me to stop smoking?
husband is trying to stop smoking and he’s going on 48 hrs, is panicky but is still motivated and wants to kick that habit.
for anybody who has quit smoking, how many days until your nerves started to cool down?
I have been trying to quit smoking for the last three months. But whenever I’m not very busy doing something I have the erge to smoke. Also, when I at work, some of my co worker know that I am trying to quit and they make things worse because that start asking whether I have had a cigarrette. The fact that they even mentioned it makes me want a cigarette, so I end of lapsing. I don’t want to use the patch or any drugs that help to stop smoking. And I really don’t crave the nicotine. It’s really a habit. For instance, when I get in the car, I am use to lighting a cigarrette. So, I do. I’ve tried chewing gum and that works only a short while. To add on, I am trying to loose weight as well. One day, I did ok, but I craved chocolate and sugar all day long. I ate all day long, too. What else can I do? Not to mention, I have asthma, as well.
she does not believe she can do it but i encourage her everyday. she quit for a few days but hid it from me for a week. i have been searching all over the internet for ways to quit. its really hard for her cause she is finishing school, just got a new job, we are trying to move in together, so she is very stressed and on top of that everybody in her family smokes around her and just leaves packs around the house which is very tempting. i would do anything to get her to kick this habit.
This book was written from personal experience. I did acquire the habit of smoking cigarettes around age 17 due to peer influence. I did quit several times before I successfully reversed the habit at age 24, it took me less than 6 months. My research examined the distinct differences between habit and addiction which concluded the ineffectiveness of simply quitting a habit, this method of reversing the habit unfolded as my approach changed to match my conclusion. This method works because it re-

My best friend has been smoking about a month, and wants to quit, but is already pretty addicted – he is stressed a lot, and took up the habit to help ease the stress. I don’t live close to him, but can anyone give me ideas on how to help someone quit smoking?
I have emailed him the risks of smoking, and things like that, but wish I could do more.
I smoke daily and have always enjoyed it. But I feel guilty for spending so much money and living life with a buzz. It feels like I always need to be high just to get through the day and I never lived this way before I started smoking years ago. All of my friends smoke weed and it would be hard to be around them when they do it. I am also scared I will be terribly bored or won’t know what to do with my time. (learned habit, i know)
How can I go about quitting smoking weed? What are some benefits to quitting? Some encouragement to quit? or some ideas to hang out with friends or stay sober?
i have picked up the awful habit of smoking and i wanted to know if there are some quick but cheap way to quit
I quit smoking in 1971. Except for a few cigars I haven’t smoked since and my last cigar was in 1977. Have you quit or are you trying to kick the habit? I quit cold turkey without a support group or any kind of medicine or other aid. Once I firmly decided to quit I had no trouble staying quit, but I did backslide several times on the way to successfully quitting. I never doubted I could kick the habit, though it was not easy to quit after years as a smoker.
Between my first serious attempt to quit smoking and my final successful attempt there was a span of six years and probably four or five tries to quit. It was not easy, and the hardest part was being around other people who smoked. In one of those tries I was smoke-free for nearly three years before I backslid into the habit. So I respect anyone who has tried–failed or succeeded–and I fully sympathize with those who have the habit and want to quit.
Great answers, everyone. Thanks for participating. If you’ve quit, congratulations. If you’ve tried and failed, I respect your efforts and wish you the best.
The cost is one factor that helps me stay quit. When I last smoked cigarettes cost about 40 cents a pack.
I really want to quit smoking and I am on wellbutrin, and it helps, but how about replacing the habit? It is so hard! Has anyone been through this?
My sister has recently taken up smoking within this past year and I have been trying to make her realize how much of a horrible habit it is. I have said everything I can from my knowledge but she still continues. What is something I can say to get her to stop smoking and so she can see it is not healthy. Thank you!
I am a heavy smoker. two pack per day. I am in the cooper clayton smoking censation class, but still smoking. I have the patches, but due to anxiety, and stress, I haven’t been able to progress. I did stop smoking the first time I was in this class. Only to start back after 4 months. I feel like such a failure. I feel I am weak, stupid, and letting the others down in my class, low self esteem. I am considering theapy, but wondering if anyone anyplace has any suggestions that might help me kick the habit. My Dr. has told me numerous times I have to quit smoking. I have asathma, broncities and other breathing conditions. Is it the power over smoking that I can’t give up? I am not an ignorant person. I no, the risk here..then why do I keep smoking?
There has to be others out there that smoke, and have sucessfully quite. If anyone has an suggestions, I would like to have your in put. This is scaring me.
He’s 17 years old. He started smoking over the summer to lose weight, and now he’s addicted and can’t stop. He says he wants to stop, and I want to help him. Getting rid of all cigarettes in his house isn’t an option because both his parents smoke. (I’m not sure whether or not they allow him to do it.) I don’t live near him; I only see him during holidays. What can I say to him or do for him to help him break the habit?
When I first started the filfthy habit when i was about 14 and 15 i said i’d stop by the time i was 25. well that b’day has just passed and i had given up for periods of months on end. Now i am just a smoker when i get drunk. Which aint that bad.
However, With the no smoking in public starting next year in England, just wondered how many were stopping smoking beforehand or waiting for the ban or who will carry on regardless.
